Chapter 22 Jade Rabbit
Taiyin star, Guanghan Palace.
Today, Fairy Chang'e welcomed a somewhat unexpected guest.
"The arrival of the left prince consort really made the humble house shine brightly." Chang'e greeted Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile.
"I am sorry for the fairy who greets you, but I am so sorry." Zuo Xiaoyou replied politely, looked up at Chang'e, and saw: the eyebrows were bent in the crescent moon, the eyes were condensed in autumn water. The face was set against two morning glows, and the lips were a little red sun. Under the brocade skirt, a pair of small golden lotus covered, and the fragrance steps were gently moved, with the delicate appearance of the stamen pearl palace. Beside the silk sleeves, a pair of delicate jade bamboo shoots were exposed, and the soft jade stretched out. The melting posture of the water and moon palace was like a water and moon palace. The autumn waves turned, causing the soul to fly in the sky, the beautiful lotus half-covered, and the eyes were shiny. The delicate one was graceful in appearance, and the charming one was charming. The body was not completely light, and the body was not fully expressed in the embroidered heart.
This was the first time he looked at Chang'e so close, and he couldn't help but be amazed by her beauty and temperament. Sure enough, he is worthy of being the number one beauty in the fairy world. Even a general like Marshal Tianpeng couldn't help teasing him after drinking, which caused the Jade Emperor to be furious and demoted him to the mortal world, turning him into an ugly Zhu Bajie.
It turns out that the beauty of the country is beautiful and beautiful. Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't control himself and almost looked up.
"I wonder what kind of expensive things are there for the Zuo Prince Consort?" Chang'e smiled with a smile on her lips and said softly, making Zuo Xiaoyou's soul relax. She just wanted to immerse herself in it for a long time and not wake up.
I sighed in my heart that Chang'e's voice was so lethal, no wonder even the Jade Emperor was going crazy for a while.
"It's true." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "My father-in-law is here to ask for a music box for his friend, and asked to use the shape of "Bright Moon, Guanghan Palace, Laurel, Fairy Chang'e with Jade Rabbit". However, I have never seen the appearance of Guanghan Palace before. In order to complete my father-in-law's explanation, I had to come and disturb me and visit Guanghan Palace for a while, and hope that the fairy can make it easier."
After hearing these words, Chang'e frowned slightly, as if she could hear some implicit meanings, and she also understood something in her heart.
"So that's it." Chang'e smiled faintly: "It's okay for the Zuo Prince Consort to have a tour. I have to deal with some things, so how about letting Yutu accompany the Zuo Prince Consort to have a tour?"
"So, thank you." Zuo Xiaoyou thanked him. Chang'e smiled slightly and waved her hand to attract a snow-white jade rabbit. The jade rabbit floated in mid-air and then landed on the ground. As soon as it landed, it turned into a pretty girl in a white palace outfit and face.
The girl stood up and bowed to Chang'e: "Greetings to Master."
Chang'e nodded, pointed his finger at the left and said, "This is the husband of the Seventh Princess and the son-in-law of the Jade Emperor. If you want to visit Guanghan Palace this time, you can take him to visit, don't neglect."
"As for the order." The girl bowed again, then looked at Zuo Xiaoyou curiously. The bright eyes were filled with a strong spiritual energy, which made Zuo Xiaoyou think of a character, Zhao Linger in "The New Legend of Sword and Fairy".
After Chang'e left, the girl smiled and said, "Mr. Prince Consort, let's go!"
"I'm working hard." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile and asked casually: "I don't know what the girl calls me?"
Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou ask a question, the girl smiled and said, "I am the jade rabbit spirit that pounds medicine in the Moon Palace. Just call me the jade rabbit."
"Yu Rabbit..." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the pretty, youthful and lively girl with a smile on his lips: "As long as his name is, it's really cute."
The Jade Rabbit blinked and smiled instantly: "Thank you, the prince consort, for your praise, Yu Rabbit is ashamed of being accused of taking responsibility."
"No need to do this." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "My name is Zuo Xiaoyou, and it's good if the Jade Rabbit Fairy calls me a name."
"Zuo Xiaoyou, Zuo Xiaoyou..." Yutu read Zuo Xiaoyou's name, showed a sweet smile, and said, "Then call me my name too! I am just a jade rabbit spirit, not a fairy."
"The fairy is not an identity, but an identity in the heart." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at Yutu and smiled: "I think you are a fairy, you are a fairy. Even if you are a monster, you are still a fairy."
Jade Rabbit had three more bright colors in her eyes, and she smiled: "Although I know you are a compliment, I love listening to it!"
"Why is the heartfelt words a compliment?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Jade Rabbit Fairy, please take me here for a tour!"
Yutu blinked and nodded, "Okay."
...
Guanghan Palace is a palace standing on the Taiyin Star. Among the historical documents that have been preserved in modern times, the description of Guanghan Palace is somewhat vague. The one who describes the image in Su Shi's imagination of the Moon Palace in "Shuitu Songtou".
The palaces in the sky, the jade buildings and jade palaces, the red pavilions and the beautiful palaces are low.
Therefore, Guanghan Palace only has one concept for Zuo Xiaoyou. Until now, when I saw the real Guanghan Palace, Zuo Xiaoyou realized that Guanghan Palace looked much simpler than I thought. Although it was very large, it was very deserted.
No wonder it is called Guanghan Palace, which is vast but deserted. Isn’t it Guanghan Palace?
"This is the laurel tree." After walking around Guanghan Palace, Yutu took Zuo Xiaoyou to a huge laurel tree that was five hundred feet high and magnificently huge. Here, there was a young and strong man holding a big axe, with a red body, revealing his steel-like muscles. He swung the axe and looked at the thick trunk of the laurel tree, causing a huge gap to appear in the trunk.
But before the strong man fell down, the gap in the trunk before magically disappeared. This cycle continued.
"He is Wu Gang." Yutu said, "He is a poor person."
"Oh?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her: "Is it convenient to say?"
Yutu thought about it and shook her head: "This is the secret of my Taiyin Star, so I won't say it." She was afraid that Zuo Xiaoyou would be angry, so she quickly remedyed it: "It's not that I don't want to say it, it's just that it's about secrets and can't say it."
"I understand." Zuo Xiaoyou expressed his understanding and smiled: "I am not a person with long tongues, so Jade Rabbit doesn't have to worry about it."
Yutu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if you don't get angry."
Although he had only been together for one or two hours, Yutu had a great time talking with Zuo Xiaoyou, and he felt that he had met too late. Although Wu Gang was related to the secret of Taiyin Star, if Zuo Xiaoyou really wanted to know, she might be in a difficult situation, but she would definitely tell him in the end.
What should I say? The rabbit's temperament is ultimately reckless, even if she is the jade rabbit from Guanghan Palace.
After visiting Guanghan Palace and the Laurel Tree, Zuo Xiaoyou already had a rough image in his mind, and then said to the jade rabbit beside him: "I have seen it almost, and it's time to say goodbye."
"Are you leaving?" Yutu felt reluctant to leave when she heard that he was leaving, "Can't you play for a while?"
Seeing the longing look of Jade Rabbit, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "My father-in-law has not left me with much time, and I still have to go down to the realm to make music boxes." He paused: "If you have nothing to do, how about you playing with me? The Huaguo Mountain is beautiful and has many fruits, but it is also a grand scene."
Yutu was very moved when she heard this, and then thought of something and suddenly laughed: "Okay! I happened to have something to go down to the world, but it's still early, so I'll go to Huaguo Mountain to have fun."
"What's wrong with you going to the lower realm?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Do you need my help?"
"No need." Yutu shook her head: "It's not a big deal. I just heard that a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the lower realm was going to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to seek the true scriptures. I heard that the monk was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata. He could live forever after eating a bite of meat. I wanted to see him and see if he was so magical."
"It's just spreading rumors." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head. Although this Tang monk was reincarnated by Jin Chanzi, he was just an ordinary monk in this life. How could he live forever after eating the meat of ordinary people? In his estimate, it must be that the Western bald donkeys deliberately released the news in order to make Tang monk go through the difficulties in order to add difficulty to the journey westward to show that the true scriptures are difficult to obtain. After packing them back to the Tang Dynasty, they should cherish them more.
After all, it is a marketing method. I have to say that Buddhist bald donkeys are very good at marketing. If people in Taoism can also strengthen packaging and increase promotion of Taoism, they will definitely be stronger than Buddhism.
Buddhist scriptures are good things, but they are all Sanskrit and no one knows them. Even if Tang Monk can translate them, the translated text is not as accurate as the original meaning, so the Buddhist scriptures have very difficult and innate shortcomings to be promoted in the Dongtu Tang Dynasty. This is very accurate. After all, it is a local religion. Even the Tang King regarded the Taishang Laojun as his ancestor, so it was very simple to promote them in the Tang Dynasty. However, Buddhism was the dominant one in later generations. Although Taoism was not declining, it was much worse than Buddhism, which made Zuo Xiaoyou feel very helpless.
When I was a child, I read "Journey to the West". Zuo Xiaoyou also admired the Buddha of Tathagata very much. He felt that he could easily press Sun Wukong under the Five Elements Mountain and must be the most powerful person in Journey to the West. But when he grew up, he read more books and learned more about religion, and became more and more familiar with Taoism and became disgusted with Buddhism.
Not to mention anything else, Taoism emphasizes that all things are natural, and everything cannot violate the laws of nature. If it violates it, it will be very difficult to go against the will of heaven. However, for the sake of immortality, it is also a kind of practice against the will of heaven, so it is best for ordinary people not to do this, so it is better not to be struck by lightning.
But Buddhism is different. Various precepts completely violate biological laws, such as not eating meat, drinking alcohol, and getting married. In China, where unfilial piety is the greatest virtue, it is simply a rebellious thing.
Moreover, people in Buddhism occupy mountains and become kings, do not engage in production, do not pay taxes, and do not avoid meat and vegetables to put many evil people in the walls. It can be said to be a place where dirty and dirty things are hidden. No wonder many dynasties will destroy Buddha. In fact, people in Buddhism are of different quality. Maybe there are really great monks, but more are flies and mice. You are responsible for your own fault, so don’t blame the people in power to kill you.
So even if you come to the real Journey to the West, Zuo Xiaoyou still has no respect for Buddha and other Buddhists. But he has no intention of stopping Journey to the West. If Journey to the West can be stopped, is this world still called Journey to the West?
